require 'nokogiri'

def get_profession(html)
  doc = Nokogiri::HTML(html)
  doc.xpath('//h3/text()').to_s.strip
end

html_str = <<-__HERE__
  <div class="_5xu4">
    <header class="_5tkh">
      <h3 class="_52jd _52ja _52jg _5f43">CEO in 
         <strong><a href="*****">Magento</a></strong>
      </h3>
    </header>
  </div>
__HERE__

puts get_profession(html_str) # => "CEO in"
